Why? Seriously, Why?
2025 Review:
What??? Decided to replay one of my fav games & am stunned that any developer, much less Dennis, looked at this game, had a 💡moment, & decided:
This game needs…
-Blinding, flashing lights (TV shows issue warnings)
-A tiny dark character for users to search for (really?) before play can begin and that looks like a tick one might find on a pet
-Destination squares that can be difficult to identify
-and an Undue button that works sporadically
To be fair, I don’t recall a badly needed Undue button originally, so I guess this sporadically functional one counts as an improvement.
Am curious to know who designed the “modernized” version of this game that has no resemblance to the quality of the original. Same dev name on this app…but *is* it?
(And Pushy still updates & is still fabulous.)
ORIGINAL REVIEW years ago:
LOVE this game. Worth every penny! Dev wrote on Twitter that Boxed In 2 is at Apple for approval. Can't wait for more of this FABULOUS game. This app is fun, challenging, and well designed. First-class. (Pushy is another great one.) BOXED IN is worth more than charged. RECOMMENDED.

Beware the light
I played the original version of the game and loved it. Recently reinstalled it. But now between the 3D graphics and the horrendous flashing white light (and gray character that is hard to see) I am going to have to pass. If you have a seizure disorder or a head injury, stay away from the light! There should be a warning about it. Miss the original.

Quite amazing, challenging puzzle
Cleverly crafted, sokoban like puzzle maze game but different and more complex than sokoban. What’s really exciting is a level editor including mazes designed by others. I’m not sure but creating a suitably difficult maze yet still retain an air of possibility might be more difficult than solving other’s mazes. At least I’m having trouble creating even one maze that can be called challenging or interesting.
This is really a superbly designed, addictive puzzle. I often stay up all hours because it is so hard to stop. Fees are reasonable (I believe in supporting well made apps I use): to eliminate ads, buy new levels (or complete current levels for more), unlimited “undo” function and others. One can do a lot for free which is a great gift from the game maker. Thank you!!!
Highly recommended 👍🏻

Great Game RUINED
I bought this game several years ago and loved it. The graphics were simple, but attractive, and the gameplay was fun.
On a whim, I decided to play it again after a very long time. The new graphics are ANNOYING. It’s a basic puzzle game; 3D graphics are unnecessary. The flashing lights and moving backgrounds are incredibly distracting.
Also, the dragging around of the character is not at all smooth. You can’t see it under your thumb as you move it, and it seems to easily move further than intended. My memory from before was that you could do a single tap on the spot you want it to move to. Much easier and simpler.
Annoying!!!

Pass
WAS a great game BEFORE the developers made drastic changes.
Change is good when improvements enhance the game....not the case here.

Fun for a while but buggy
I enjoyed the game until I got to Pack 1, Level 30. At that point after successfully solving the puzzle the game locks up. Unfortunately i am then stopped from going to the next level, thus permanently killing the game.
Since the game has not been updated for more than a year, I expect it is a dead issue.

Paid for ads???
I bought this app or at least a version called “Boxed In” but now I’m suffering through ads. Developer website is useless.

Needs update
Great game, have played it for years but the developers abandoned us, every time I finish a level it crashes and won't update my progress. PLEASE FIX THIS GAME !

Fun but it freezes
Installed on my iPad Pro and it’s challenging but it freezes every time I complete a round. Sometimes I need to re-complete the same round many times so it’ll move on to the next. 🤮🤮

Boxed in 2 #47
I love this game. I go back every few months to solve all over again. The only problem is when I get to boxed in 2 #47 it never lets me go on to #48. I have passed this level 100 times and it won’t progress to the next level. All 3 boxed in games worked flawlessly with the “old” version.
